The Hamburglar made a successful return to Ottawa. Zdeno Chara is officially the NHL games played leader for defencemen.

We touch on the troubling world news in Ukraine. The Habs stop being horrible. Hockey's weird expectation that skaters block slapshots. Sean Avery wants to make a comeback. And Greg Norman says the PGA Tour cannot ban anyone for playing in a rival league. Is he right?

Aaron Rodgers does a long thank you on Instagram to show his gratitude for everyone. He had to know that would wind people up as a sign he might be leaving Green Bay. He says he'll make his decision soon. The Sens beat the Wild 4-3 as Thomas Chabot returns and scores twice, including the winner. And a Finland cross country skier was injured at the Olympics. His injury? A frozen penis.
